The Canadian singer-songwriter Devin Townsend has shared a story about the process of creating his upcoming album Lightwork. In his Twitter thread, the musician explained how he needed to re-record a song after a sample he used was denied.
In his post, Townsend explained that the sample denial occurred three months after the mixing and mastering of the record had been complete; units were already in production and vinyl were in the process of being printed. The artist recalls having ‘opened my mail in the plane to find a thread of frantic mails from the team essentially saying that a sample I had used in one of the main songs had been denied permission to use.
